The Shocker (Al-Qaare'ah)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
OH, the sudden calamity! 1 What is the striking (Hour)? 2 How will you comprehend what the startling calamity is? -- 3 The day when men will be like scattered moths. 4 And the mountains will be like wool, fluffed up. 5 And then, he whose weight [of good deeds] is heavy in the balance 6 shall inherit a pleasing life, 7 And for one whose scales prove light, 8 His abode shall be the abyss. 9 And what will make you know what it is? 10 It is the scorching fire. 11
